If you don't want to mess with setting this up yourself from scratch, I recommend using an EFA box in front and have it deliver to your Dovecot box. http://efa-project.org/ You would smarthost everything outbound from the Dovecot box back through the EFA box to see both directions in the web interface for very nice reporting capabilities. You can train SA spam/ham easily from within the web interface. This is a prebuilt MailScanner VM that has everything setup nicely and can keep itself updated/patched very easily.
